Jesus does not criticize the other 9 for going on to the priests, but for not returning to give thanks. <br />Moreover, there is a strong sense of the "newness" of the Gospel here -- the Jews ought to have realized that the Old Law was passing away...<br />I know this doesn't fully answer the question...but it is, I think, the beginning of an answer...<br />Peace!Father Ryan Erlenbushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07557817305024750902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578980753063154388.post-65834010941919814212010-10-21T19:10:49.656-07:002010-10-21T19:10:49.656-07:00The story of the 10 lepers leaves me a little conf...The story of the 10 lepers leaves me a little confused. Jesus told the 10 to go show themselves to the priests in the temple -- as required by Mosaic law. They did as they were told. "On their way" they were healed. Only the Samaritan, who did not worship in the Jersualem temple returned to thank Jesus. Why criticize the other nine for doing what they were asked to do?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12902663665976186165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578980753063154388.post-8624427575905865522010-10-09T10:54:13.001-07:002010-10-09T10:54:13.001-07:00See Summa Theologica I, q.13, a.7 for a discussion...See Summa Theologica I, q.13, a.7 for a discussion of the names of God and the relation between God and creatures.<br /><br />Also Summa Contra Gentiles Book II, chapters 11-14.<br /><br />Comments and discussion welcome...especially if anyone would like to discuss how prayer works (given that we cannot change God).
